Something a Gentoo user might care about is the distro's compile time options. Ubuntu uses -O2 and LTO, Debian uses -O1. Debian has always been noticably slower overall for me.
Don't do what I did and go with Tumbleweed. It gets more updates than Arch.

It's not that difficult to build your own kernel based on the official debian one: https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official
It doesn't make much of a difference in the kernel, but I definitely notice it on Debian's Firefox vs Flatpak.
